I went back to the estate sale from last weekend and spent $10. Got another "Flash Cleaner" tin, a Planet Jr tractor wrench, and a cool bubble lens RayOvac copper flashlight. The rest was all paper goods - Stuff I like to use to give some context to the tool displays. Grabbed a few "Motor...

did you change the store to #1569 ?? that should at least get you the right prices.

I tested and I see shipping available on both those items from store 1569 I am in MD.

missed it by that much.... (it's probably for the best)

Thanks! I never knew there was such a thing. Thanks some good ideas. i will track them down. I was blown away to learn that they showed ads before silent movies! Not sure why I would be surprised by that, it just never occurred to me. Research is a fun part of this hobby. The can will...

Wow! this Flash Cleaner really seems like great stuff! Now i want to know where I can buy some!!! Watch the commercial that they used to play before silent movies here - https://www.loc.gov/item/97516794/ Why did it have to be empty?? I guess it was so good the original owner used it up!

I went to grab some free 'explosion proof globes and wire cages' for my grandson off FM. BTW - does anyone know where I can buy the sockets? These are reproductions so I assume somebody is selling fake ones. Then a TOO Estate Sale on the way home. An odd think that think is a vulcanizer that...

+1 on missing out on FM deals - even when you offer to pre-pay! At the same time, so of my favorite finds have been from FM. But that Ruger hand drill is a rare piece! I have only ever read about them! Well done!

Wow! the pokemon gods were smiling on you today!! I don't know what the rest of the family found in the game, but you did great! that flex adjustable is cool! :rocker::rocker::rocker:

I love corner drills/braces and those crazy angle joints like that. There is really some amazing engineering in them. And the Lionel piece is pretty cool as well. Looks like they built some quality stuff.

There's also a 4 inch that I have not been able to run across. But I really want one.

so I got a 10 inch Westcott S adjustable made by Keystone MFG for $3 at the flea this weekend. But.. but... but... I wanted one of these Johnson/Humphrey stickers just for "atmosphere" in my tool display, and the guy said $1. Apparently, that was for the whole box! There are hundreds! 1964!

Wow! Love the anvil! You inhale profusely! Let's hope for a little bump in the finds as people start cautiously coming out into the open. Stay safe everybody!

I saw an old mailbox grinder on FB market place for $5 so I headed out. Nice neighborhood, and while I was picking up a neighbor mentioned that if I liked older tools she had some from her dad. I now own a 3 1/2 Wilton bullet! And she has my contact info when she finds more tools. I was...

That's awesome. My relative "wisely" turned down the chance to invest in Henry Ford's foolish venture, but later had a dealership. Here are pictures of the markings, "Ford RR 6002". FYI, Brown and Sharpe also made a mercury filled plumb bob, but i think Starrett held the patent.

Is that a Starrett 87? The old mercury filled one (shake it to find out)? I have a special love for those due to family lore. I had a great, great...(well several of them) grandfather who was a personal friend of Henry Ford, borrowed tools, and well, didn't give them back. I think...

Wow! that SK box is mint!

Boy that Starrett ratchet is clean. Odd to see them separate from the set. I'm Jealous!

While looking around for the zip code trick I ran across this cheap coffee at lowes... (still looking for the trick) I have seen these as low as $1.11 https://www.lowes.com/pd/OXX-18-Pack-All-Day-Smooth-Single-Serve-Coffee-K-cup/1000812254

Try googling radar magnets - I believe they were used for radar/microwave applications. As RTM mentioned you typically saw them in pairs on a base with a "spacer" of some sort between them. http://www.phys.ufl.edu/demo/5_ElectricityMagnetism/G_MagneticMaterials/RadarMagnets.html Let us know...
